ADVANCING THE COMMON GOOD: CREATING OPPORTUNITIES FOR A BETTER LIFE FOR ALL

Everyone deserves opportunities to have a good life: a quality education that leads to a stable job, enough income to support a family through retirement, and good health.

That’s why United Way’s work is focused on Four Bold Goals by 2025:

100% of children will enter kindergarten ready to learn

100% of students and adults will have post-secondary credentials

Decrease individuals and families living in poverty by 50%

100% of individuals, children and families will have a physician, dentist and a mental health provider

Advancing the common good is less about helping one person at a time and more about changing systems to help all of us. We are all connected and interdependent. We all win when a child succeeds in school, when families are financially stable, when people are healthy.

United Way’s goal is to create long-lasting changes by addressing the underlying causes of these problems.

Living united means being a part of the change. It takes everyone in the community working together to create a brighter future.

United Way of Lancaster County is proud to partner with Pre-K for PA to help achieve our Bold Goal of having every child ready for kindergarten.

About Pre-K for PA: Pre-K for PA launched in January 2014 as a non-partisan issue campaign. Our goal is that by 2018, every at-risk child will have access to a high-quality pre-kindergarten program and middle-income families will more easily afford these services for their children. But we cannot do it alone! Please join our campaign community of nearly 15,000 supporters, 580 organizations, and over 100 Leadership Council members who all believe that investing in our children is the right choice and an urgent necessity. Together we can make it happen!
